This was really good. Good renders and impressive animations. The theme and tone are right up my alley, so I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes. This is the best game opening I have seen in a long time and I also hope that the novel continues with a little more spice like it did with the old man at the newsstand.
This post is fantastic! I agree 100% with everything said, with one minor difference being the adjectives "impressive" and "good". I would swap them so it would be impressive renders and good animations, but thats a minor thing.
Here we have a perfect example of a new players mindset. You are right, it is best game opening i have seen in a long time as well, and FUCK YEAH the newstand scenes are hot, pls more of it. The Dev probably recieves massive credits from every new player just because of the first impression. Unfortunately, he wastes most of that monetary potential . . .
. . . BECAUSE
this game is friggin 6 years old. And we are in the opening phase waiting for the first side-plot to progress. Every new player realizing this sooner or later, is going to vote with his feet.
And so will you
Come back by the end of 2025, if its not abandoned by then, we will have a bit more spice.
Peace
